Chapter 11
Note: The idea came to me. But the characters from the show don't belong to me. There is a mention of a town from another soap and a character that Lucinda was named after. I did make up a few characters like Lu, Valeria, and Rosaura.
Rosaura steps back falling backwards to the ground the phone falls and hits the ground. Rosaura hits her head and is rushed to the hospital. Maggie and Victor still couldn't believe what they had heard. Did they really hear that Rosaura had stolen from the DiMera's? What did she steal? Did Lucinda know this secret? Is their daughter in danger? And who is on the other side of the phone call? So many questions so little answers. All that was truly known was that they had to keep Lu safe from whatever danger might be around the corner.
Later that day Lucinda had been shopping in the Horton Square last minute Christmas shopping for everyone. Lu had a strange feeling she was being watched. She was being more then watched she was being followed. Lucinda started to run through the square. She hears footsteps behind her. Lu runs straight into Brady she looks up.
Lu: "Oh I'm sorry Brady. "
Brady: "No problem Auntie."
Lu starts to laugh.
Lu: "Please, don't call me that. That really sounds weird. "
Brady starts to laugh.
Brady: "I know I will just call you Lucinda. Anyway, are you ready for Christmas?"
Lu: "Almost, there are a couple more things I need to get maybe you could help me with a couple things..."
Brady: "Sure what do you need help with?"
Lu: "I need to find gifts for Maggie and Victor. I don't know them very well yet. I need help you know them better. "
Brady: "Sure I would be happy to help you Auntie."
Brady laughs and so does Lu.
Lu: "Oh stop! Alright, where should we start?"
Brady and Lu go to several stores in Horton Square they find several things.
Lucinda also finds a few gifts more for a couple other people such as Fay who she felt a bond with. She knew that she knew her, but it was almost like a dream that haunted her day and night. But was it really a dream or is this dream a reality? A memory of something Kay doesn't want anyone to know. Something that only Fay, Kay, and Rosaura are suppose to know. Yes, and that's why this feeling that Lu felt as if being followed way happening! The person that was following Lucinda worked for KAY!
There is a phone conversation.
Woman: "Hello Miss Kay I am following her so far nothing... But that's a regular day. "
Kay: "Alright, keep an eye on her I will want an update later. "
Woman: "Right!"
They hang up their phones.
The woman watches as Lucinda points at a necklace and Brady shakes his head.
Lu: "What do you think of this for Momma Maggie?"
Brady looks at Lu.
Brady: "Have you said that to Maggie yet?"
Lu: "No, not yet. "
Lu smiles.
Lu: "She will be happy I think It's just hard for me considering... My Mom Rosaura."
Brady: "That's understandable."
He smiles.
Brady: "Yes, I think that is a perfect necklace."
Lucinda smiles and does end up buying the necklace.
Lucinda is happy about this choice.
Lu: "What about Papa Vic?"
Brady: "Oh I wouldn't call him that."
He laughs.
Lu: "Why?"
Brady: "Just ask Melanie... he doesn't like it."
Lu laughs.
Lu: "Maybe that's the point."
She continues to laugh. Brady has a funny look on his face.
Brady: "Oh that's bad."
Brady laughs.
Lu: "Yes, I know. Now ideas for Pa... Victor?"
She laughs Brady is smiling.
Brady: "Yes, I have a couple of ideas."
They do find something for Victor finally and finish up shopping. They go to get a milkshake near by. As Lu sits down she acts like she is cold, but its her reaction to feeling that she is being watched.
Brady: "Are you alright? I mean are you sure you want a milkshake?"
Lu: "Yes, I'm fine I just had a strange feeling. But don't worry!"
She looks at him and laughs.
Lu: "I need a milkshake a nice chocolate milkshake."
Brady smiles and goes to order the milkshakes.
Meanwhile, back at Kay's house she thought on her past as an early child where she remembers that life was simple with her family and twin Fay. She remembers so clearly though that from her first memory. One day things became bad for the family and Kay was sent away. She was sent away to a rich family that gave her everything... But almost acted like she wasn't there. She grew resentful over the years of the letters she would get from her family. The phone then rings which snaps her out of the memories.
Kay: "Hello?"
Woman: "Calling to check in..."
Kay: "And?"
Woman: "And nothing to report really as far as Lucinda goes... But I have news on Rosaura."
Kay laughs and laughs.
Kay: "Is she in trouble for what was heard over the phone?"
Woman: "She seems to have had an accident..."
Kay: "WHAT?!"
She seems shocked.
At the hospital Maggie and Victor wait to hear news from the doctor... A nurse goes to use her phone.
Woman: "Oh I have a phone call concerning Rosaura coming in right now."
Kay: "Fine."
The woman puts Kay on hold. Then she talks to the nurse.
Woman: "Well if it isn't the nurse of the hour... Hello Megan."
Nurse Megan: "You want the information or not?"
Woman: "Yes, tell me!"
Nurse Megan: "She will be alright, but she doesn't remember certain things... Selective memory if you will..."
Daniel as the doctor that is around and on duty he goes to talk to Maggie and Victor.
Daniel: "Rosaura has a slight concussion... And her memory... Well she seems to have selective memory."
Maggie looks at Victor.
Victor: "You have got to be kidding me."
Daniel: "Why do you say that?"
Maggie: "Its something that..."
Victor: "Don't Maggie we have to protect Rosaura... Because of Lucinda."
Maggie: "I know. I just hope this doesn't hurt Lucinda in any way."
